I reset /etc/ssh/sshd_config to the attached version, and attempted ssh -v localhost
while logged in as username=kennykb uid=117 The output of 'ssh -v' is attached as 'sshclient.txt'. The only lines that appeared in syslog after I restarted the daemon were in the attached 'syslog.txt'. The corresponding time period in auth.log is attached as 'authlog.txt'. The contents of /etc/ssh/ssh_config at the time of the failure are attached. (I'll attach the files in the next few messages.) The first is auth.log. 192.168.1.1 is my gateway machine. I see that I'm being hammered 3-4 times a minute with unauthorized requests to log in as root from some external machine. Isn't the internet a spectacularly hostile place? If this is not enough, what else do you need? Another developer mentioned rebuilding from source with a particular debugging option turned on - if you need this, can you give me a precise description of the location and version of the package you want rebuilt and the exact change you want? ** Attachment added: "auth.log from the ssh daemon restart through the login failure" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/openssh/+bug/1690485/+attachment/4877132/+files/authlog.txt -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1690485 Title: openssh-server SIGSYS with 'UsePrivilegeSeparation sandbox' To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/openssh/+bug/1690485/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
